Spotmini on the TED stage

Boston Dynamics is currently developing not only the creepy military commandment but also the nice buddy SpotMini, which should be used as a universal household aid. And last year, we saw SpotMini’s first, still amply hassle-free walking trials, company manager Marc Raibert has now shown on the TED stage what the bot has learned in the meantime, including various, sometimes quite droll gaits, various control modes and stunts like that Retrieving a beverage can. The actual demo starts in the video from minute 00:09.
